THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST.

The following is an extract from a
sermon by Rev. Asa SAKE, d. D., of
Rochester, N. Y:
"We said that God created man in
his own image. If that means any
thing it means that man in his intel
lectual and moral powers is like God.
The only distinction as 1 conceive be-
tween human nature and Gods nature
is that the one is infinite while the other
is finite. A higher rank than the hu-
man rank is impossible without taking
away his dis tinction which would be to
make a God. All beings therefore
above the brutes and below God belong
to the human rank. Angels and arch
angels, cherubim and seraphim are
comprised in it. They are only men
out Of the flesh. They with us belong
to the rank of those who have ration
al, moral and spiritual nature. This
nature is what constitutes us the chill
dren Of God. Nothing below man has
ever been called Gods child, and no be-
ing below God has ever been designated
by higher title than child of God.
There is no higher title. Son of God is
the loftiest title by which Jesus was
ever known. Nor does it belittle Christ,
as some affirm, to place him in the hui
man rank, but it clothes humanity with
divine dignity, and thus such con-
ception of him becomes an important
moral power. 1t does not belittle Christ,
for really as the perfect man he becomes
greater than our conception of him as
the second person in the Trinity. 1 be-
ieve human nature to be really greater
and diviner than the worlds conception
of the greatness and divineness of God"

OUR NATIONAL GLORY AND DIS
GRACE.
BY Rev. F. TEMPLE LArHE.
caledonia, o.

To-day our country, without any
question, stands in the front rank of
nations. 1t is the leading power of
the world. Every citizen is proud of
the position we have attained as ma
ton. The great principles of the
Declaration of Independence stand
secure. The portals of our free land,
from Castle Garden on the one side, to
the Golden Gate on the other slope, are
wide open. The hope of our country
is in its institutions and the civiliza-
ton which has built and sustains
them. The mission of our country is
to nourish and perpetuate freedom.
The great principles underlying the
social fabric of all nations and condi-
tions of mankind, is the equality of the
human race. Every nation that comes
into being has distinctive light and
mission; hence the necessity of being
true to itself-true to the eternal prin-
ciples of the equality of the human
race. The Individual is urged to be
true to himself and what is true of the
individual is applicable to nations. And
why are individuals thus admonishedp
Because of the equality that exists, and
the light given and the mission to be
worked out. The greater the light and
mission the greater the responsibility.
No other nation can compare with US
in the development of material wealth.
Intellectual advancement and freedom
to act in accordance with the dictates
of reason receive here just and proper
recognition. The military spirit of our
people is not to be despised. The
martial glory of our arms is the admir-
alton of the world and will endure so
long as history is written. We lack
not in physical courage and prowess,
and the ingenuity of our people can
supply every needed weapon for war
and implement for peace.
AS a nation we court peace rather
than war; and the great military chief
tian of our age-the product of our land
and institutions, could say: "Let us
have peace" Our standing army is
only $4,000 men. Yet would any ma
ton have the temerity to grapple with
US, and measure swords, an army
of 6,SO9,00O enrolled militia, intelligent
and patriotic citizens, would be ready
to defend our borders and hurl back the
foe. The simple announcement of
"Our Navy" as toast for an after
dinner speech, might make an English

DOCTRINAL PREACHING.

We hear complaints wherever we go,
of the lack of doctrinal sermons. "We
have a good minister" they say she
breaches good moral and practical dis
courses, but these do not stir up the
people to the Importance of our great
and glorious faith" Is not this one of
the reasons why young men are not in
spired to enter the ministry? They
are not made to see the Importance of
the doctrine. They do not see the i'm
portance of going out into the world to
tell the people it is good thing to be
good.
Ethical diseourses are pleasing to the
nearer, but they are not the power of
God unto salvation. The world never
will be converted till our ministers
preach the gospel as preached by Jesus
and Paul and all the holy men of Old
Gospel Banner.

upon the Chinese in one section the
injustice to the Indians in another, and
the outrages upon the negroes in a
third-and we should blush long enough
to see the enormity of all these crimes
and the disgrace imperiling our nation.
The spirit of the age demands the
full sweep of just laws, their recogni-
ton, and their impartial execution. In
every man we must see a neighbor and
love him as ourself. Our Christian
civilization exerts its influence to this
end.

n0ipiocS OuoS unueI MS charge Is QOn6,
and before he thinks or attempts to act
in the interest of his own safety. But
alas; too late. They take his mangled
body from the wreck, or with anguish
ed hearts and wet eyes they listen to
his piteous moaning, while his heroic
spirit is going up to God in a martyrs
fire. May the Infinite Father have
mercy on the soul of a preacher so hard
ened, who, saved from that wreck, could
enter his pulpit on the next Sunday
morning and proclaim such helping
heroic souls as only worthy of eternal
perditionl
Here, in every department of this
worlds business we find these men who
appear to have but little of what the
church rates as saving grace, but they
seem to be in large possession of kind
of grace which helps and saves others,
even at sacrifice of themselves. Like
the chief officers of steamship wreck
ed but recently, taking no thought for
self until every soul was safely landed;
then both captain and mate go down
with the ship. Such as these are
wanted in this world, nor can we live
and enjoy the privileges and blessings
of this world without them. They will
be wanted in the spiritual world; nor
shall we enjoy the privilege and bless
ings of that world without their help
ing presence. For one, 1 prefer to trust
my interests, my happiness, yea, my all,
in the hands, and with the companion
ship of grace heroic enough to help
and save others, than in the hands of a
cowardly grace, intent only ON being
saved.
Now, for a moment, we will refer
again to the text, lest it seem unto some
that we hold ourselves in bold denial of
its teaching. Such accusation would
be untrue. Already have we given the
Interpretation as held by Universalists,
in the statement that belief which
saves, and unbelief which condemns, is
but another name for obedience and
disobedience. 10 believe according to
the meaning of scripture is to obey the
laws of God as revealed in the life and
lessons of Jesus, the Christ, for these
laws are engraven in every life as well
as on the pages of book. To yield
obedience to them, and live in accord
ance with their righteous guidance, is
to be saved from every evil way. To
live in violation of them is unbelief OF
disobedience and brings condemnation
with all its train of evils. And these
will continue with man just so long
as he continues in disobedience I'M
belief. Nor is the condemnation put
over to the future life. In another
place Jesus instructs that the unbeliev-
ing or disobedient man is condemned
already. Jesus speaks Of what consti-
tutes true belief, in the same way that
he speaks to his disciples about love
1t was not enough that the disciple
said that he loved him. The test of the
disciples love was in keeping his COM
mandments, and the test of believing
is not in saying 1--WE believe" but in
obedience. By this test are we tried;
by this standard of what we are, are we
judged, rather then by what we profess
to believe. This standard and rule Of
God; prevails under Gods government
everywhere among the inhabitants of
earth equally as among the inhabitants
of the spiritual world.

"Unwept, unhonored and unsung."
1t has no place in the genius and life
of our institutions and must be de-
stroyed with every other evil. Our
national life and mission are too prec-
ious to be frittered away by the friction
of noxious influences.
We have just celebrated the one
hundred and eleventh natal day of our
country. Amidst all that the day may
have suggested, amid all that makes the
pillars of government firm, we are con-
fronted by six questions of great i'm
portance, namely, our treatment of the
Chinese; the Indian question; the
status Of the negro Anarchism; Nor
monism, and intemperance, "the sum
of all villainies.'
To deal with these questions demands
the wisest craftsmanship. The import
and burden of these questions make
fearful strain upon our national exist
ence. Intemperance, Mormonism and
Anarchism must be suppressed by wise
legislation, and the strong hand of the
law and justice by the same methods
must be secured to the negroes, the
Indians, and the Chinese, who on the
Pacific slope, are receiving a great deal
of malignant attention.
AS nation we have much for which
to be thankful, and it is well for US to
rejoice. But amid our rejoicings we
should pause long enough to blush at
the wrongs and cruelties perpetrated

horrible ruInor comes over the wires to the
elect that George W. Julian is to be appointed in
the place of the late Sparks. What malignant
alarmst could have invented this story 1t is I'm
possible to conjecture. Possibly 1t was some
friend Of the late commissioner who wished to
advise the country that there are evils greater
than Sparks, and such as 1t dreamed not OF. The
are evidence that they believed that no greater
am1ctiOn than Sparks was possible in the nature
OF things put they may yet learn that 1t Is the
unexpected that always happens. They doubtless
believed, with the great mass of American people,
that Julian was dead. They knew that he was a
contemporary of Cotton Mather-that he had
raised a most Internal rumpus when the resolu-
tions OF Ys were passed.that he took part In
the Rhode Island war and the PENNSYLVANIA
rebellion on both SfdeS-that he was killed
at Lundy's Lane, yet took part with Blenner-
hassett In his troubles-that he built the under
ground railway before Garrison was born, and,
having been 1.-THE original abolitionist," has be-
lOnged TO every party since the barn-burners
turned New York upside down. Yet here he is,
and he hobs up as serenely as though he had never
been free-SOl candidate for President, had never
been cowhided by United states Marshal Meredith,
had never been tramped upon by Morton, had
man, measure and party since Alexander Ham1l-
ton and Thos. Jefferson divided our young repub-
lie on questions long since dead and buried: Julian
Is alive, and Notwithstanding the fact that the
announcement that his ancestor Julian the apOs-
tate, was alive and now ruling in Rome would
scarcely create greater surprise 1t is nevertheless
melancholy fact. The records OF the General
Land ONCE prove it, His name stands upon the
rolls as surveyor-general of New Mexico. He
competed with Sparks for the place OF commits
s1Oner, and being defeated, retired to the sand
hills OF New Mexico vowing vengeance and swear
ing he would be even yet.
There Is a suspicion that the Administration Is
borrowing strategy from the old Thebans, who dug
up dead general, accOutered him In his ancient
armor, tied him upon his old war horse, and adj
vanced with him at the head OF his columns
against their affrtghted enemies. 1t is recorded
tnat the ruSe was successful, and that, living or
dead, EpdminondaS carried terror into the ranks
OF his enemies IL the new commissioner is
Julian, the settlers in the Far West might as well
eXtfnguiSh their bOnfireS and hunt their holes
with the celebrity or prairie dogs. The man that
made Jefferson admits that he trembled for his
country and lay awake listening for fire bell at
night Is, living or dead, object or terror, COM
